The duet song "Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)" by BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)'s V and Park Hyo Shin, announced last November, has surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify as of October 25. This is the fourth song of his solo works to achieve 500 million streams, following "Love Me Again," "FRI(END)S," and "Slow Dancing." "Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)" is a jazz-pop genre song that creates a warm atmosphere with the performance of saxophone, trumpet, and a fantastical prepared piano (a piano that has various objects placed inside to change the sound). The romantic melody and lyrics beautifully harmonize with V and Park Hyo Shin's charming vocals. The song debuted at number 99 on Billboard's main song chart, the HOT100, making it V's fifth solo song on the HOT100. At that time, Billboard selected this song as one of the "27 Best Winter Songs for the Season," introducing it as a song that evokes the first day of early winter, filled with warmth and comfort. V has a total of 12 solo songs with over 100 million streams, including "Love Me Again," which surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify.
